About Us

Cottonwood Properties creates fine places to live, shop and work, among them the Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa and its related communities, the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain, and the La Paloma Corporate Center.

We also develop homesites near the Ritz and on Dove Mountain, and hold excellent commercial properties on and near Oracle Road and Rancho Vistoso in Oro Valley.

Our commitment is to finding brighter, better ways to accommodate Tucson’s growth and create a higher standard for quality of life in the area.

Cottonwood Properties is a Tucson company with all of its interests exclusively in Tucson and its surrounding area. We have developed residential communities, resorts, retail centers, office complexes and apartment communities in excess of $800 million.

Cottonwood’s largest current project is the 6,200-acre Dove Mountain master-planned community. David Mehl, president and owner of Cottonwood Properties, first owned the land that is now Dove Mountain in 1985. Nearly two decades of planning and commitment have gone into making Dove Mountain one of the Southwest’s premiere golf resort communities. Cottonwood Properties developed The Ritz-Carlton Resort and continues to actively develop the remaining land in Dove Mountain.

For more than 30 years, we’ve been crafting communities that respect the land and enrich the way people live and work. Let’s see what great things we can do together.
